Chapter 274: The huge risk of wishing(1/4)
As Zuo Si appeared again, the three dragons who had been fighting in a melee quickly separated.
Especially Feikrag, who was at an overwhelming disadvantage, had begun to feel that he was being calculated, and immediately tried to summon his most capable subordinates.
In the blink of an eye, the mage Const and a mercenary team composed of humans and gray dwarves rushed in from another entrance.
When they saw three red dragons in front of them, they were all dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on.
But from the blood splattered on the ground and the large number of wounds caused by claws and teeth on his master's body, it was vaguely possible to tell that a fierce battle must have just broken out.
So after hesitating for a moment, Const immediately couldn't help but ask: "Great master, what is going on?"
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense! All these guys you see are enemies!"
Felkrag roared and instantly activated a magic item worn on his body. The healing spell released from it restored some of his vitality and stopped the wounds on his body from bleeding.
Hearing that both red dragons were enemies, Const's face changed slightly, and he raised his hand and was about to start casting spells.
But before he sang the first syllable, he heard Zuo Si slowly warn: "If I were you, from now on I would stand still and not move rashly, instead of getting involved in this unrest.
In a battle that belongs to you. Because if you complete even the lowest level zero-ring trick, I guarantee that you will die in the next second."
Instantly!
Const's originally waving hands stopped, and his eyes instantly showed strong panic.
No need to ask, he knew that he recognized Zuo Si's identity, and also knew what the chosen one appointed by both goddesses had been doing in recent times.
Whether it is defeating and sealing a secondary abyss lord, killing Mansong, or defeating several chief red robed mages and letting the famous Sazastan retreat on his own initiative, it is definitely beyond the reach of a mere LV16 mage like me.
.
Seeing the mage's hesitation, Zuo Si immediately realized that the other party and Felkrag might not be very strict superiors and subordinates, but closer to allies or cooperative relationships.
It's just that in this kind of cooperation, Red Dragon occupies an absolutely dominant position, while Const is in a subordinate position.
In normal times, with Felkrag's powerful power, Const would not dare to have any second thoughts, otherwise he would definitely be hunted down.
But now, it seems that Fairclage cannot protect himself. At this time, he will inevitably have to think about himself.
There is no way, basically all the people in the evil camp are very selfish, and it is simply a dream to expect them to make sacrifices for others.
In particular, the mage from the evil camp is a typical example among them.
Seeing that his men were about to rebel, Faircrag's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce and cruel, and he threatened in an extremely cold and slow tone: "Const! You have to think clearly about the price of betraying me!"<
/p>
"Don't worry, as long as your master dies today, he will not be able to ask you to pay any more price. So why can't we cooperate? I guarantee that no matter what Felkelag has promised or reached with you
No matter what kind of agreement we make, I can pay double.”
Zuo Si launched a psychological offensive with a smile on his face.
Although with his current strength, it would not take much effort to deal with Const and his human mercenaries.
But it's quite interesting to see enemies fighting among themselves and then killing each other.
After all, the top spellcasters will always prioritize the use of wisdom, instead of just knowing how to unscrupulously vent their magical power like many preaching mages who die in bizarre ways.
"Idiot! Do you think he will let you go after I die? Stop dreaming! You have no right to bargain! Come and help me! This is the only option!" Felkrag roared.
Just when Const was hesitant, Isadora, who was hiding in the dark, finally took action.
Since psychic powers are more subtle and weird than any magic or divine spell, there was no warning when she released [tampering with memory].
But under the influence of this psychic power, Const's memory of the past five minutes was modified. Thinking that he had reached a cooperation agreement with Zuo Si, he immediately pointed at Feikrag and ordered the mercenary behind him: "Go up
!Kill him!"
Instantly!
Everyone, including the mercenaries and Fairkrag, was stunned.
Especially the latter, who can hardly believe that this mage who has always shown extreme respect and obedience to him dares to betray him at such a critical moment without seeming to have any hesitation.
"Are you crazy?"
Felkrag's lava-like eyes burst out with the red dragon's unique tyranny when in crisis.
But it's a pity that the response he got was an [Icicle].
Since the red dragon is a dragon with fire attributes, it is completely immune to all fire elemental damage and is particularly susceptible to cold damage.
To use a more professional term to describe it, it is "cold-vulnerable", that is, cold-type weapons, magic can cause additional damage to them.
So when the biting coldness of [Ice Cone] hit the wound, Fairkrag instantly lost his mind and fell into a state of madness.
I saw that he completely ignored Davian and Wilmes, rushed directly to where Const was, and when he opened his mouth, he spit out a mouthful of hot flames.
Several human mercenaries who were still in shock and had no time to react were reduced to ashes on the spot by white high-temperature flames reaching over a thousand degrees Celsius.
But Const was obviously well prepared. The moment the dragon's breath came out, he immediately activated any spell and disappeared.
Along with the activation of the arbitrary door, there was also the invisibility cloak he was wearing, and the whole person disappeared from Felcragg's sight in an instant.

This combination of arbitrary doors and invisibility magic items or potions is what many arcane spellcasters most often use when they are attacked.
Any of the doors can be used for short-distance teleportation, instantly bringing the caster to a relatively safe place.
Invisibility potions or magic items can make the teleportation complete at the moment, so that the enemy cannot find a target to attack, thereby buying enough time for you to cast the next spell or turn around and escape.
"It seems that you are really at the end of your rope this time." Zuo Si stared at Felkrag's furious look and showed a playful smile.
Because of his spiritual connection, he knew very well what Isadora hiding in the corner had done.
As a psychic who specializes in the "telepath" faction, the girl's ability to silently influence and control other people's thoughts is even far superior to that of mages who specialize in enchantment.
Especially in the face of unique psychic spells such as [Tampering with Memory], [Reading Thoughts], [Disgust], [Suggestion], [Fake Senses], etc., unless you are 100% immune to everything in this regard, you will most likely not notice it at all.
When he arrived, he was unknowingly manipulated, just like Const now.
Moreover, those who are influenced and controlled cannot notice anything strange at all. Instead, they feel that all this is due to their own subjective choices.
"Very good! Very good! You forced me to do this!"
Felkrag flapped his wings fiercely and pushed away the oncoming Wilmes, then jumped into the air and quickly chanted dragon language magic in mid-air.
Zuo Si has read some Netherese scrolls, so he has an unparalleled advantage in spell identification.
When the opponent was just halfway through chanting the spell, I immediately recognized that this guy was actually releasing the nine-ring magic [Wish Spell].
Warlock?
Spell-like abilities?
A unique profession for the Dragon Clan?
These three possibilities instantly came to his mind.
You must know that most of the evil dragons in Faerûn are the kind of lazy people who have no occupation, eat and sleep all day long, and occasionally go out to plunder wealth.
But if this lazy nature can be overcome, then this behemoth will become the most formidable enemy.
A lifespan of thousands of years allows it to learn all kinds of knowledge and skills, and its wisdom will be strengthened and precipitated with age.
However, out of curiosity, Zuo Si would not let the other party cast [Wish Spell], a powerful magic that was very likely to reverse the situation in an instant, and immediately began to use the creator's ability to extract the energy that supported the spell structure.
But dragon language magic is obviously very different from the magic used by mortals. It mobilizes more energy and the spell structure is more stable.
Therefore, when the spell was completed, Zuo Si was not able to destroy it, but only reduced it from the ninth-level [Wish Spell] to the seventh-level [Limited Wish Spell].
Although literally there is only two more words "limited", the effect is completely different.
The moment Fairkrag expressed his wish, several portals were suddenly opened, followed by a large army composed entirely of metal structures walking out from the other side.
One of the leaders, a construct that looked like a huge sphere, emitted a burst of mechanical electronic sounds from the opening above his head: "In accordance with the excerpt of Chapter 3, Section 4, and the second paragraph of the Treaty of Gormis, we respond
Summoned. The Ninth Squadron of the Twelve Brigades under the Sixth Army of Malaka will fight for you."
"I command you to kill all living things except me!"
Fairkrag quickly issued orders to these constructs summoned using [Limited Prayer].
But what is interesting is that these constructs did not take action immediately. Instead, they first took out a thick stack of metal plates engraved with a large number of unknown symbols from unknown places on their bodies and handed them to the red dragon.
He said in a tone of voice: "Please read the terms of the agreement carefully and sign above after confirming that there are no problems."
